There are some arguments I was clearly not going to win this year. Actually, I'm surprised we've managed to hold off on uniforms and marching and patriotic songs this long.
(And our dear Madam Umbridge is so very excited about all that. I'm just gritting my teeth politely.)
On the scheduling, quite. It's a completely full three weeks, really. There's what we did last year - four core areas, plus a specialty. There's various physical challenges and group exercises to develop leadership (and a couple of those are going to be quite demanding in more than one way). There's the fact the whole thing's centering around the battle of Leicester (and they're also touring Nottingham) with various lectures and exercises and projects. And there's a whole bit about cryptography and message analysis that got put in.
And then you add in that some of them swim far better than others (and there's a number of water activities), and a few things I can't talk about yet, and. Well. Yes.
